BUSINESS Cars are perfect for a 'green approach' June 26,
2002 07:52

A Norfolk golf club has secured a fleet of state-of-the-art
golf cars worth more than £70,000 as it begins to phase out
its petrol vehicles in favour of more economical and
environmentally friendly transport.

Wensum Valley Golf Club, at Taverham, near Norwich, has
bought 20 electric "IQ" golf cars from Club Car which will
gradually replace its petrol vehicles.

Martin Lucas, UK business development manager for Club Car,
said: "The use of electric vehicles gives golf clubs
substantial savings in a number of areas. For example,
petrol cars cost up to £1 per round of golf, whereas the
running cost for electric cars is only around 20p per
round."

Stuart Edge of Ben Burgess, the distributor which negotiated
the deal, said: "The fact that these cars can be programmed
gives our members added benefits when they are playing golf.
Varying degrees of control can be electronically introduced
by golf course management, ranging from acceleration and
braking power to speed control."

Basil Todd, proprietor of Wensum Valley Golf Club said that
the deal with Club Car reflected the club's continuing
growth and the overall trend for golfers to use cars more
regularly. "As we continue to attract more discerning guests
and golfers, we must have the right facilities at their
disposal."
